Abstract:

In A Grammar of Makary Kotoko, Sean Allison provides a thorough description
and analysis of Makary Kotoko - a Central Chadic language of Cameroon, framing
the discussion within R.M.W. Dixon’s (2010a, 2010b, 2012) Basic Linguistic
Theory. Working with an extensive corpus of recorded texts supplemented by
interactions with native speakers of the language, the author provides the
first full grammar of a Kotoko language. The detailed analysis of the
phonology, morphology, syntax, and discourse features of Makary Kotoko is from
a functional/typological perspective. Being based on a large number of oral
texts, the analysis provides an example-rich description showing the range of
variation of the constructions presented while giving insights into Kotoko
culture.
